Bronx-born John Piscitello is known for his uplifting & playful scores.
John's documentary scores bring heart to the most dramatic stories. In Mike Wallace is Here, pulsing electronica convey the restless drive behind the 60 Minutes newsman's confrontational career. World percussion grooves drive Unseen Enemy, the CNN Film that foresaw the consequences of global pandemic.
His unflinching orchestral score for Magnolia's No Place on Earth lights the WWII story of a Jewish family surviving in Ukraine's pitch-black caves.
John's scores for Hulu's comedic showbiz docs channel the joy of those who follow their own path. His music for Too Funny to Fail: The Life & Death of The Dana Carvey Show captures the delight of Dana Carvey's short-lived series and its bittersweet cancellation. In Becoming Bond, George Lazenby's audacious tale of becoming 007 inspires John's stylish, wild score for the film's comedic re-enactments.
His music for Eko's choice-driven genre comedy Wizard School Dropout spins epic magical themes for its myriad narrative branches. And for Eko's That Moment When, a bouncy and bassy score guides Jill, a "20-something hot mess", through her many awkward life paths.
John is an MIT-trained computer scientist and spent years in the tech world. He worked at Google in its startup days, was a music production software engineer and got a Harvard MBA. He still advises media and technology startups.
Born a city kid, John now lives with his family in Topanga, where soon the barn will have a few horses living there.
